With the development of science and technology, more and more electronic products enter every aspect of people's lives, and the normal use of electronic products needs batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in electronic products in various fields due to their advantages such as high energy density and environmental friendliness. With the development of electric vehicle technology, the application of lithium-ion batteries in the field of electric vehicles has attracted much attention.
At present, a lithium-ion battery is usually composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, an electrolyte and a shell. The positive and negative electrode plates and the separator isolated therein can be wound to obtain a cell. The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector generally made of aluminum foil, and a film containing a negative electrode active material and attached to the negative electrode current collector. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector generally made of copper foil, and a film containing a positive electrode active material and attached to the positive electrode current collector. The separator is a microporous film made by plasticizing, extraction, and other processes. In the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, according to the process requirements, it is necessary to dry the wet coated electrode plates by means of a drying oven to obtain uniformly coated electrode plates with a specified thickness, and accordingly the drying process plays a vital role in production of electrode plates of batteries.
In the conventional technology, the drying oven includes an upper covering and a lower covering, the upper covering and the lower covering are arranged opposite to each other to form a drying channel, and drying hot air of the drying oven is blown out from slits of an upper blow port fixed to the upper covering and a lower blow port fixed to the lower covering, so that the hot air can play a role in drying, lifting, flattening, and the like.
However, the inventor found that, in order to ensure that an electrode plate is dry, it is necessary to increase the volume of hot air, so shear stress may be produced to the electrode plate when the hot air is blown to surfaces of the electrode plate from the upper air blow port and the lower air blow port; when the shear stress is too large, it will lead to abnormal conditions such as cracks, dark traces, bulges and uneven edges; and when the air volume is too small, the electrode plate can not be lifted, which may lead to scratches on nozzles and breaking of the electrode plate, and even lead to poor drying and other problems.
Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the abnormal conditions such as cracks, dark traces, bulges, and uneven edges that are caused by the excessive shear force on the electrode plate due to the large hot air volume during the drying process of the electrode plate, as well as the problem that the electrode plate cannot be lifted due to the small hot air volume, the inventor, after in-depth research, has designed a drying device. An air suction port arranged opposite the lower blow port is provided additionally, an air outlet direction of the lower blow port is opposite to an air suction direction of the air suction port, so that the electrode plate can be subjected to two upward forces, thereby weakening the shear stress produced to the electrode plate by air blown from the upper blow port and the lower blow port, and eliminating abnormal conditions such as cracks, dark traces, bulges, and uneven edges.
The drying device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application may, but is not limited to, be used for drying a part to be dried 200 such as an electrode plate for lithium batteries.

The third air nozzle 17 is disposed on the second surface 12 and has a third air nozzle tip 171, and the third air nozzle tip 171 is in communication with the air suction port 122.
More specifically, the body 14 includes an upper covering 141 and a lower covering 142 that are arranged opposite to and spaced apart from each other, the upper covering 141 has the second surface 12 on a side toward the lower covering 142, the lower covering 142 has the first surface 11 on a side toward the upper covering 141, the first air nozzle 15 is disposed on the lower covering 142, the second air nozzle 16 is disposed on the upper covering 141 and/or the lower covering 142, and the third air nozzle 17 is disposed on the upper covering 141.

The drying device 100 of the present application can blow hot air into the drying channel 13 via the first blow port 111, and the drying device 100 can suck air from the drying channel 13 via the air suction port 122.
It should be noted that in the conventional technology, one of the upper covering or the lower covering is further provided with an air exhaust port 121, so that when the upper blow port blows hot air to the electrode plate, the hot air rebounds with moisture to the air exhaust port 121 on the same side, which is then discharged to prevent the moisture from remaining in the drying channel. It is to be noted that, the air exhaust port 121 may also have a certain suction power, which may be provided by a rear fan, to improve the air exhaust efficiency.
However, according to the present application, the air suction port 122 opposite to the first air blow port 111 is provided additionally on the basis of the original air exhaust port 121, under the action of two airflows in the same direction, shear stress produced to the electrode plate by air blown from the upper air blow port and the lower air blow port can be weakened, and thus various abnormal conditions such as cracks, dark traces, bulges, and uneven edges are eliminated.

The plane where the second air nozzle tip 161 is located is a plane that overlaps with the second air nozzle tip 161.
When hot air is blown from the first air blow port 111 to the part to be dried 200, the hot air rebounds with moisture to the air exhaust port 121 on the same side, which is then discharged to prevent the moisture from remaining in the drying channel 13. Since the second air nozzle tip 161 of the second air nozzle 16 is in communication with the air exhaust port 121 and the plane where the second air nozzle tip 161 is located is inclined relative to the extension direction of the drying channel 13, the second air nozzle tip 161 may face towards a rebound direction of hot air as much as possible, so that the hot air with moisture can be quickly discharged from the air exhaust port 121, thus improving the air exhaust effect.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the second air nozzle 16 has two second air nozzle tips 161, the two second air nozzle tips 161 are disposed at an angle, and the plane where each of the second air nozzle tips 161 is located is inclined relative to the extension direction of the drying channel 13. In this way, the hot air is discharged through both sides, which improves the air exhaust efficiency.
According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, with continued reference to
The plane where the third air nozzle tip 171 is located is a plane that overlaps with the third air nozzle tip 171.
Since the plane where the third air nozzle tip 171 is located is parallel to the extension direction of the drying channel, the suction direction of the third air nozzle tip 171 is parallel to the extension direction of the drying channel 13, and the air suction port 122 in communication with the third air nozzle tip 171 produces a suction force to act to the utmost extent on the part to be dried 200 that is located in the drying channel 13, thus improving the capability to weaken the shear force.
According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, with continued reference to

Furthermore, the plane where the first air nozzle tip 151 is located and the plane where the third air nozzle tip 171 is located are both parallel to the drying channel 13.
Since the air suction port 122 is directly opposite the first air blow port 111, a stress region of the part to be dried 200 that is subjected to force from the first air blow port 111 overlaps with a stress region of the part to be dried 200 that is subjected to suction from the air suction port 122. Therefore, on the one hand, force is concentrated to weaken the shear stress, and on the other hand, damage to the part to be dried 200 due to uneven stress can also be avoided.
